Abt 12 tasting notes

Abt. 12 is an abbey ale brewed at St. Bernardus brewery in the classic Belgian “Quadrupel” style. This recipe was created when trappist monks of Westvleteren had to outsource some of its production here. Pours dark brown with a frothy, light tan head and a bit of lacing. Fruity aroma of dark fruits, caramel and cherry notes, with hints of yeast. The taste is deep and complex, with more dark fruit, notes of yeast and malt in the background. Full body and mild alcohol burn, with a delightful aftertaste with roasted caramel malt bouquet. One of the best examples of Belgian Quadrupel.

Quadrupels or Belgian Dark Strong Ales are very complex Belgian ales, sometimes connected with an Abbey or a Trappist monastery. Its appearance range from deep amber to reddish brown. Aromas are rich, with spiciness and malt presence, and hints of fruits. Flavors are as complex as aromas, with malt presence, fruits and some alcohol, and a dry finish. It is more malty than a Dubbel and not as bitter as a Tripel.
